Ingredients Notes

The beauty of these Crumbl Confetti Cookies is in their simplicity. Let’s take a closer look at the ingredients that make them shine.
Unsalted Butter – Using softened unsalted butter gives these cookies a rich, buttery flavor without any added salt. It’s key to achieving that tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture. Make sure to let your butter soften at room temperature for the best results.
Granulated Sugar – The sugar is responsible for the sweetness of the cookies and also helps give them that slightly crisp edge. You’ll want just enough to balance out the rich, buttery dough.
Egg – The egg helps bind the ingredients together and gives the cookies their soft, chewy texture. Make sure your egg is at room temperature for even mixing.
Vanilla Extract – A touch of vanilla enhances the flavor of the cookies and adds a subtle warmth. Go for pure vanilla extract if you can; it really makes a difference in taste.
Flour and Baking Powder – All-purpose flour and baking powder work together to give the cookies the perfect structure and lightness. The baking powder helps them rise just slightly, so they stay soft but not too dense.
Sprinkles – The sprinkles are the real stars here! Choose your favorite colors or a classic rainbow mix for that cheerful, confetti-like look. Just be sure to use jimmies (the longer sprinkles) rather than nonpareils, which can bleed color into the dough.
You won’t need any special equipment for these cookies – just a hand mixer, mixing bowls, and a baking sheet. Let’s get baking!
How To Make These Crumbl Confetti Cookies
Baking these cookies is as easy as it gets. Follow these steps for perfect results every time.
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Softened butter and a prepared sheet are key for cookies that bake evenly and don’t spread too much.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This step incorporates air into the dough, creating a tender texture. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
Next, add the dry ingredients – flour and baking powder – into the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix, which could make the cookies tough. Finally, fold in the sprinkles, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Lightly press down each ball to create a flat top, as these cookies don’t spread much in the oven.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and just barely golden. The centers should still look slightly underbaked – this helps keep the cookies soft. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These cookies will be ready in under half an hour, and the reward is worth every second!
Storage Options
Crumbl Confetti Cookies store beautifully, making them perfect for baking ahead of time. To keep them fresh, let the cookies cool completely and then place them in an airtight container.
Room Temperature – Store the cookies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 4-5 days. They’ll stay soft and chewy, perfect for grabbing on the go.
Freezing – If you’d like to store them longer, these cookies freeze well. Place them in a freezer-safe container or bag, separating layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Freeze for up to 3 months. Just thaw at room temperature when you’re ready to enjoy.
Reheating – To revive that just-baked texture, warm the cookies in the microwave for 5-10 seconds. This gives them a soft, warm texture, as if they just came out of the oven.
Variations and Substitutions
This cookie recipe is wonderfully adaptable, making it easy to customize for different tastes and occasions.
Chocolate Chips – Add mini chocolate chips to the dough along with the sprinkles for an extra hit of sweetness.
Holiday Themes – Switch up the sprinkles to match the season. Try red and green for Christmas, pastel colors for Easter, or black and orange for Halloween.
Almond Extract – Swap out half the vanilla extract with almond extract for a slightly nutty, unique flavor. Almond pairs beautifully with the buttery dough and adds a delicious twist.
Gluten-Free – Use a 1-to-1 gluten-free flour blend to make these cookies gluten-free. They’ll still be soft, chewy, and absolutely delicious.
Extra Softness – For even softer cookies, try adding 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to the dry ingredients. Cornstarch keeps the cookies tender and gives them that bakery-style feel.
No matter how you customize them, these cookies are sure to be a hit.
